St. Laurence Catholic Church in Sugar Land is the place to be for great family fun at the 22nd annual parish bazaar the weekend of October 15th and 16th. A lot of excitement surrounds the return of this popular event, which had to be suspended during the construction of the Ave Maria Parish Life Center, a beautiful new facility for the parish’s religious education and ministry activities. Fittingly, the theme for this year’s bazaar is “Behold, the Bazaar is Back!” which includes many of the old favorites plus some fun, new attractions.

The bazaar will be held Saturday, October 15th from 5 to 10 pm and all day Sunday, October 16th from 10 am to 5 pm. All of the action will take place across the street from the church on the grounds of the new St. Laurence Ave Maria Center at the corner of Sweetwater Boulevard and Austin Parkway in First Colony. Entrance is free. Food, activity and raffle tickets are available for purchase at the event.

There will be plenty of international foods, games and activities, including rides, bingo, live music and a raffle, to entertain young and old alike. Look for new attractions like the Teen Room and an art gallery showcasing the talent of parishioners in depicting their pastor’s parish theme for the year: Behold, I Make All Things New.

A new Mini Cooper provided by Momentum Mini of Houston plus four runner-up cash prizes will be raffled at the close of the bazaar on Sunday night. Raffle tickets are available for purchase at $2 each or $20 for a book of 12 tickets at the bazaar and in advance at the parish office. Bingo will be offered inside the Ave Maria Center from 6 to 10 pm on Saturday and again from noon to 4 pm on Sunday. Tom Barry and Les Fuchs are chairing the event. Michele Dyogi, Al Garcia, Anne Lootens and Arnie Jimenez round out the leadership team.
